How to Apply

  • Ecological Resilience
    Students will learn to demonstrate awareness of key environmental issues and the ability to communicate the principal problems the built environment causes to Earth’s systems for the purposes of broad ecological literacy and working toward bringing the built environment to operate within planetary boundaries.
  • Socially Catalyzed Resilience
    Students will grow in their understanding of how sustainability and resiliency relate to their role, their work and their communities.
  • Socio-Ecological Resilience
    Students define, explain and apply the economic, environmental and social components of sustainability and resilience. Students will be able to present complex technical information, such as scientific data, clearly to multi-stakeholder groups.

 

These are just a few of several learning outcomes.

Students must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university and at least a 3.0 GPA to enroll. Non-native English speakers must have language scores acceptable for admission by the University of Arkansas graduate school standards.
